Skateboarding has changed my life honestly I was attempting suicide multiple times as soon as skating has been in my life I’ve been much much more happy I wish I had found it before I had been bullied for seven years and have now been diagnosed with autism depression anxiety and have medication for it so this has changed my life I’m only 14 but even when I fall bad I get up with a smile on my face

Been following skateboarding daily for 30 years, practising for the first 15, now just enjoying it online. Lizzies way of defining skateboarding gave me the chills!

Two thumbs up to everything you do Lizzie, Rock On!!!

Wow, so inspiring. Rooting for you Lizzie🏆

That was such a good video. Very inspiring. Thank you

Lizyy I am very proud that you are representing our small nation in the Tokio,Olympics.

Lizzie you is too cool. When you did the loop. Wow that blew my head off. Gave me goosebumps. Keep it up girl. You are an inspiration for alot of people. Good luck in the Olympics you are gonna knock em flat...

Iv had the pleasure of meeting her and skating with her. Amazing! Go Lizzy!!

I just started skating again after a decade. How did I only hear about Lizzie this year?? Cool that she chose to represent Finland. Hyvä Suomi!!

That's so awesome! GO GET IT LIZZIE!!!

Lizzie is super inspiring!!

I love how Tony Hawk is so involved with so many ppl and supporting their skateboarding dreams. Id love to photograph him skating one day.

She’s such a beautiful soul.

That's what's up, so happy for her.

these new yorker docs are all bangers.

Long live Grosso! Legends never die!

I love the mom quote “ Lizzie doesn’t look at herself as a female skateboarder; she looks at herself as a skateboarder’ A perfect quote for the 2021 woman living in a dude’s world.

Most of the individuals who frequent the Olympics are getting old and gray anyways. We need to make room for the incoming sports for spectators who are actually going to be *alive* to watch them. It’s truly refreshing to see skateboarding, surfing, and rock climbing accepted as sports in the Olympics.

I remember when I was a kid in the late 90's to early 2000's... I loved watching Tony, Bucky, Sheckler, and the others during XGames when it aired on TV... Wishing that I could also skate... But alas, those were the times when Basketball and Skateboarding (especially skateboarding) is considered as a BOY's sport... Kinda still is here... So I NEVER had the chance to learn it while I still can... Now I'm riddled with knee and back injuries due playing basketball when I was in college and the numerous fights I've got myself into... And being an overweight, health issues ridden adult here is like a life sentence in prison... I'm just glad that Margie Didal gets to represent our country 🇵🇭 in the coming Olympics... But watching you, Lizzie and the other women make Skateboarding a more female friendly sport is such a big thing to me... I've been a fan for years... Hope you gals all the best during the upcoming Olympics...

i feel that. i could probably still start, it's never too late and all that, but. it's scary, though. i wish i could have seen myself in some of these women back then and had the confidence to pursue it while i was young.

2021 was the year I saw Lizzie pushing on a skateboard twice.(two separate videos.)

Tony Hawk is becoming the Morgan Freeman of Skateboarding. He was already a Legend when I used to skate in the late 80's and he's still a Legend now. Great to embrace dope skaters like Lizzie 👌🏼She's just dope and she pushes the envelope in Skateboarding and showed that women can be just as great as men. In other sports I am barely interested in the women's division but in Skateboarding I am definitely watching!

Jezz, Tonys in love 😅

I hope she wins

I love how most skateboarders think the Olympics are to mainstream, but they would be happy to go just so they can skateboard, like it's just another day...

Sheesh finally

G-g-g-get it get it girl!

Who does the closing music?

Can't lie Lizzie is my bet for the women park gold

Once you do the Deth Loop .. You can DO IT AGAIN!!!
